  • Fan in battery and Inverter compartment?

    Posted by Art on December 16, 2024 at 10:16 am

    Originally the Royale came with a thermostat and a small fan in the Battery/Inverter compartment, Over the years fan disappeared and just left a Dayton adjustable Thermostat and some wire. Thay had put a in linefuse which had been removed, I that fan necessary ?? The compartment outer door is vented also, It’s funny I can’t see where the fan had been mounted.

    Heat is the enemy of electrical devices. My fans on my three buses run continuously. Also I clean the dust from my inverters because that accumulation of dust and lint makes cooling more difficult.

    Yes I also keep my inverters blown out for heat, And I think I will get fan back on line.

    I agree with Don and Jon. Companies spend a lot of money to keep their electrical/computer equipment cool. I routed a portion of one cruisair output into the bay with the inverters in addition to the fans already there. No such thing as keeping electrical equipment too cool or too clean. Mike
